March 13, 2023 To Mama, Indescribable. Meaning there is nothing quite like it– good or bad…there’s no way to sum it all up. Some moments are painstakingly challenging and we try to breathe through it, patient, kind, and realize that as hard as it is for us to move through that moment–it’s significantly harder for […]

January 23, 2023 To Mama, For a moment, I was mad at my body. I had my maternity clothes from my first pregnancy thrown on the bed and I was in the process of figuring out what fit , comfortably and flattering and boy was I frustrated. I was 180lbs when I gave birth to […]

January 2, 2023 To Mama, 2023. The start of a new year and the biggest catchphrase of any new year is “new year, new me”. I’ve caught myself saying it this year and in years past, and it is usually followed by a couple resolutions I’d like to engage in and practice on this journey […]

March 21, 2022 To Mama, You look heavy. Yea, there’s still some baby pounds to shed but that’s a conversation for a different day. Heavy in that the weight of motherhood is on your shoulders and burdening your mind. The longer I am a Mama, the more I realize there’s an unspoken weight to being […]

February 2, 2022 To Mama, I started reading this little book Many Ways to Say I Love You by Fred Rogers…Mr. Rogers for all of us who grew up watching Mr. Rogers Neighborhood…and these little passage struck me for a couple reasons. The first line for starters…I wonder how many people feel the way I […]
